i own a Fender Deville amplifier and the red indicator light has to be replaced. how can i take it out?
The Red light that indicates the amplifier is turned on....(on a Fender Deville 410)... has to be replaced and it is difficult to unscrew it out of its place. Is there another way to replace the small bulb?
First you need to pull the chassis. Do this by unscrewing the four screws on the top of the amp that go through those metal strips. Then pull the metal box at the top of the amp in back (the chassis) out.
Unplug the amp before you do this.
DO NOT TOUCH THE CAPACITORS. The electrical charge they hold even when the amp is unplugged for a long time can kill you.
If you don't know what a capacitor is, don't even attempt this and take it to an amp tech.
Once you have the chassis out you have access to the jewel light from the inside and can take it out and replace it.
